It's amazing though because for what he lacks in long speed, he makes up for with everything else. His instincts are top notch. He's big, long and lengthy. Has a good first step (1.58 10 split) and showed explosiveness in his jumps (35" Vert, 10' 6" Broad). Usually those translate into a fast 40 time, but didn't seem to be the case for Lloyd(on paper at least).

Living on the West Coast I got to see a lot of Lloyd play at Utah and that's why he was the player I was most excited to watch this season. He was that dude for Utah. I know a lot of people on the East Coast didn't get to see him much, but he was awesome to watch in College. It's looking like not much has changed as far as his awesomeness goes once he stepped up into the next level that is, the NFL.

He plays much faster than his 40 time, hes fast as [BLEEP] and has plenty of speed for a LB.  I mean Ray Lewis went at 26.  I just think MLB/off the ball LB's is a position teams dont value like they used to which worked out for the Jags.  Quay Walker is a good LB and helped GB get the win in Tampa with the FF but im thankful they took him over Lloyd.
